Netherwing Egg Farming for the Busy Reputation Grinder

Netherwing Reputation

So you really want that amazing looking Reins of the Cobalt Netherwing Drake, or maybe Reins of the Violet Netherwing Drake. You've done a quick google search on how to grind Netherwing Reputation, and find that you need to start the quest Kindness to get your reputation grind going. Once you finish the initial quest line, you head on over to the quest hub at Dragonmaw Base Camp on Netherwing Ledge, and come across The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt. You don't think to google it or anything, and spend minutes upon hours looking for that blasted egg! You finally found it and are leaping up and down with excitement! You turn it in and realize it turns into a daily quest (Accepting All Eggs), and you think screw that, they're too difficult to find!

You go upon your dailies day after day and realize it's taking a good bit of time to get reputation. A quick google search finds for you that it takes 2 weeks without eggs to reach exalted with Netherwing! You've got work/school/kids to take care of! Maybe getting some of these eggs won't hurt after all...

Where to Find Them

The eggs can come from a few different places. They're a world spawn, and can be found around the island, and in the Dragonmaw Fortress on the mainland of Shadowmoon Valley. They also drop from all of the creatures on the island. Lastly, they sometimes drop on mining/herbalism nodes.

World Spawn

Though the eggs do spawn around the island, and in the Dragonmaw Fortress, I personally have yet to see a spawn there, though it does not hurt to fly around them and make sure that one has not spawned. There are many videos that demand you follow a very certain path, which honestly is neither here nor there in regards to finding them. The dailies in the Dragonmaw Base Camp require you to fly around the island multiple times (E.g. The Booterang: A Cure For The Common Worthless Peon and A Slow Death). This is when I look very carefully at the base of the mountains/hills and crystal formations to make sure that an egg has not spawned. They glow fairly brightly, so they should stand out. (Since A Slow Death requires you fly to the mainland to get 12 Fel Glands, this is when I hit up Dragonmaw Fortress and look very carefully to make sure that they haven't spawned).

I have seen them spawn very frequently in four places within the Netherwing Mines (pictures are of the coordinates): 71, 84.573, 8473.9, 8672.2, 86.3

I've always seen at least 1 (most of the time 2) using these 4 locations. (None spawned when taken because I had looted earlier to turn in.)

Creatures

Netherwing Egg has a drop rate of around 1% on all of the creatures on the island, meaning mathematically that every 100 creatures you kill, you get an egg. Seeing as most people grinding the rep are level 100, this will take no time at all. I personally love this brute force tactic when I have the time to sit down and just kill, kill, kill. The respawn time is ridiculously fast, especially in the mines. This tactic has yielded me the most eggs.

Profession Nodes

Once through with one of the quests of your respective profession, these can be continued to be farmed as well, as there's a chance for the eggs to drop off of them as well. You might even get a few while farming for the quest! I've yielded a good portion of my eggs from the profession nodes.

Conclusion

Seen listed and with examples are all the ways to find the eggs. I hope you find my information useful and are well on your way towards getting one, if not all of the Netherwing Drakes!
